Nothing else was changed. I have had the same spark plugs in it since the
last outing. I did reboot the thing, but they said it was too dark to run.
Please note that this is a small town track and doesn't have a lighting
system. It's an old crop-duster runway that was turned into a dragstrip.
About that Duster....it has a motor from a circle track car that competed
in a stock class. That's what I meant to say.
Just to let anyone who cares about older Mopars know - there are a few rare
ones in town I've seen. A 74 or 75 Duster 360 4 sp. sunroof car that is B5
blue in and out and has rally wheels. It is all original. And one of
those Sport Fury GT's with a 440. It's olive green in and out. These cars
are sitting at an exhaust shop waiting to be restored. That is, if the
owner wants to let them go. They've been sitting there for awhile and get
worse looking every month. The Duster really should be restored. I would
try to buy it, as that is almost the exact car I want, but I don't have the
funds. I hate to see stuff like this rot away. If anybody wants any pics,
I can get some. They have a bunch of other old Mopars there, too.
Including a 'Cuda funny-car body. I am gona pull the VIN #'s off the
Duster one of these days to see what the production #'s are.
